New Releases for August 2025 – Historical Romance and Contemporary Romance Books

Sep 5, 2025 | Book Reviews

An Unforeseen Kiss by Alexa Aston (2025)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 4 of the Captivating Kisses series. Tragic backstory for Eden who’s mother is paralyzed after a horse riding incident when she was young, plus the sudden death of her father when she is on the cusp of making her debut. She ends up as a governess to two young ladies, but definitely wary of her circumstances. Val is the newly inherited duke who is learning his responsibilities after the sudden death of his father. His aunt is keeping his mother company during her mourning period and sends for her daughter and their governess to stay. Val is instantly smitten with Eden, but she wants to maintain her distance due to their stations. Lucky for her, he’s only got honorable intentions. Loved this romance.

Advance ebook provided by Dragonblade Books via NetGalley.

My Best Friend’s Earl by Bethany Bennett (2025)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 2 of the Bluestocking Booksellers series. If you’ve been looking for scenes with yearning, you need to read this book. First off, Constance and Oliver are total opposites and also cannot seem to stop thinking of each other. Secondly, Oliver has been engaged to his childhood friend and neighbor due to a deal their fathers made over cards many years ago and he’s being super honorable and sticking to the arrangement. But his fiancee is actively trying to get out of the engagement and even asks Constance for help in how to get Oliver to jilt her. It’s messy and chaotic and at some point when Oliver and Constance realize they have true feelings for each other, it’s all blocked by his honor and prior entanglements. Loved this book so much.

Advance ebook provided by Forever Books via NetGalley. Print book provided by Forever Books.

Zomromcom by Olivia Dade (2025)

Paranormal romance. Book 1 of the Supernatural Entanglements series. This book was so much fun to read. Just the right amount of action and adventure and danger. And oh my gosh, the steam. Edie is trying to fight off a zombie and protect her dimwitted neighbor, but it turns out her neighbor is secretly a vampire named Gaston. He goes by Max, but get ready for all sorts of iterations of the Gaston song throughout the book. They’ve got loads of zombie danger to deal in trying to save the neighborhood and we meet all sorts of wacky side characters along the way. It was an absolute delight to read.

Ebook borrowed from my local library via Libby. Advance audiobook provided by Penguin Random House Audio.

Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la Rosa (2025)

Historical romance. Victorian-era England and Mexico. Book 3 of the Luna Sisters series. I can’t believe this is the last book of the series and we need to leave the Luna sisters behind. I am super glad that Gabby finally meets her match in Sebastian, the duke who we knew would be trouble for her on their very first meeting. Gabby’s on her way to Mexico, fleeing a bad situation in England, and Sebastian is on the ship right along with her. Even though they start the journey as somewhat enemies, she definitely softens towards him when she realizes that he isn’t exactly the rake he seemed to be in the past. And of course, Sebastian is just trying to keep his sanity around him since it’s clear he’s totally besotted by Gabby. Loved seeing the flirtatious banter between them and the undeniable attraction here that they’re trying so hard to fight. Loved seeing it all wrap up and all our Luna sisters so happily wed.

Advance ebook provided by Berkley via NetGalley. Advance print book provided by Penguin Random House Audio.

Anywhere With You by Ellie Palmer (2025)

Contemporary romance. Standalone novel. Present-day Charley is a high strung intellectual property lawyer who is recently divorced and trying to stop her sister from getting engaged. Lucky timing for her, her best friend Ethan is in her driveway with his van and they go chasing after the sister together. While Charley and Ethan have never been anything more than platonic best friends, there’s definitely an undercurrent of something in the background. It’s just that Ethan is the kind of guy that is way too much for flight risks for Charley’s tastes, especially when we flashback to her nomadic childhood and her absentee father. We get all sorts of hilarious road trip adventures here with a dash of sexual tension. Solid read, but I’m not entirely sold on them making it for the long haul with their opposite personalities.

Advance ebook provided by Penguin Random House via NetGalley. Advance audiobook provided by Penguin Random House Audio.

A Waltz on the Wild Side by Erica Ridley (2025)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 6 of the Wild Wynchesters series. Solid conclusion to the series, but a lot of the story could have been resolved earlier if Vivian communicated more clearly about her missing cousin’s adventures. Vivian and her young cousin always argue over his and his friends’ hero worship of the Wynchester family, with good reason, since Vivian is worried that a bunch of law-breaking adolescents will not have the same privileges as the wealthy family of a baron. He goes missing one day and Vivian pretty much lands on the Wynchester doorstep to ask for help. She’s terribly prickly and judgmental and spends most of the book getting to know each of the siblings (and their respective spouses) to learn that they really are more honorable than she originally judged. Her romance is set with Jacob, the animal trainer and poet of the group, and it’s pretty much attraction at first sight, even with her being totally closed-minded. He’s smitten from the jump and wants to do anything he can to help her. We end up with a lot of wacky miscommunication and go through a lot of hoops to find the cousin.

Advance ebook provided by Forever Books via NetGalley.

The Gilded Heiress by Joanna Shupe (2025)

Historical romance. Gilded Age New York. Standalone novel. This one is a really good Anastasia retelling with mystery and intrigue and steam. Leo is your basic con-man in Boston, and when he sees Josie singing in the street, he has a glimmer of an idea to pass her off as a long-lost heiress. And she has no idea that’s his game because he’s pretending to be a talent manager to get her on Broadway. They go to New York together and try to keep things professional, but that only works for so long when they spend literally all their time together. We get to uncover the mystery of the lost heiress and how Leo’s late father is involved in the mess. This book was so much fun to read and listen to.

Advance ebook provided by Avon Books via NetGalley. Advance audiobook provided by Harper Audio via NetGalley.

Lady Like by Mackenzi Lee (2025)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Standalone novel. We get the story of two different women in circumstances where they need to marry and end up falling in love with each other instead. Harry is an unconventional sort of woman, born illegitimate to a brothel worker and now an actress with short hair and wears trousers. She’s got an inheritance on the line that depends on her marrying a respectable sort of man. Emily is a country girl with a history of scandal and a betrothal to a cruel much older man in her village, so she’s in London to find a better prospect for her own protection. Of course it turns out that Harry and Emily are after the same man and hijinks ensue. But as they spend more time together, their rivalry turns into friendship and a whole lot more. Fun to read these two get to know each other better and especially fun to read the brash Harry learn to express her feelings.

Monthly Income Report: August 2025

Sep 1, 2025 | Side Hustle Diaries

Here’s the August 2025 breakdown of all the pennies I’ve collected from the internet. I’ve organized the income sources into bigger categories and then provided details from each source.

Affiliate Commissions: $2401,05

TikTok Shop Affiliate: $1098.37

I have been creating TikTok Shop Affiliate videos since Sept 2024 and seeing steady sales. The process involves quick reviews or demonstrations of products that are sold within TikTok shop and linking them within the TikTok video. Results vary wildly depending on the product, the day, the month, the season, and the algorithm. (link to my TikTok account)

Read more about how I made over $19k in commission in the first year of doing TikTok Shop Affiliate.

Etsy Affiliate: $1123.07

The primary place where I promote Etsy affiliate links is through Pinterest. I’ve had a Pinterest account since forever, so my account is already full of craft tutorial links. I post my affiliate links to crochet and quilt patterns, and these have generated the most sales for me. (link to my Pinterest account)

Amazon Affiliate: $171.93

I’ve been an Amazon affiliate since the early days of my blog and have always recommended various supplies for art and lettering. This month was the first full month of on-site commissions, where product review videos get added directly to the product page by Amazon. If someone watches the video on the product page and makes a purchase, then I get the affiliate commission. (link to my Amazon Storefront)

Benable: $7.68

July. Benable a website that has its own audience and search functionality where you can link to various products and websites in collections. The affiliate income is baked into the platform when someone clicks on your featured product and makes a purchase. Probably the lowest friction income source since you don’t need an existing audience. (link to sign up for Benable)

Other Affiliate Programs: $0

Nothing here this month.

Products: $22.50

Paper Goods Etsy Shop: $1.81

I sell bookmarks here mostly, with the occasional digital download. (link to Etsy shop)

Fiber Goods Etsy Shop: $11.38

Once upon a time, I thought I was going to make scarves and blankets while my baby napped and I could sell them online. And that kind of worked, but not profitably. Listings expired, and then I switched to smaller objects like coasters and cozies, and now I’m mostly selling digital crochet patterns. (link to Etsy shop)

Used Books: $0

I list used books for sale using the PangoBooks app. Sales are very sporadic and sometimes I get into phases where I’m not really listing much. This must have been a slow month for new listings. (link to my PangoBooks shop)

Digital Downloads: $3

Too many shops, not enough marketing. This month I added printable coloring swatch sheets to the shop, with minimal promotion on Instagram. (link to coloring pages)

Print on Demand: $5.96

Once upon a time, I uploaded a ton of designs onto RedBubble. I do not nurture this revenue stream at all right now, and any sales are just a bonus surprise. (link to Redbubble shop)

Content Monetization: $7.21

Google AdSense: $5.88

Clearly, this is not a very lucrative income source, since the minimum payout to transfer to a bank account is $100. However, coins are coins, so I’m leaving the ads turned on at my blog. Is it enough to off-set the cost of the website hosting and domain registration? Probably not. But it hosts content that hopefully leads to other affiliate sales. (link to blog)

Instagram Bonus for Posts: $1.33

I have no idea how this was activated or why. I was previously enrolled in an Instagram Reels bonus program, but that has since been discontinued. At the time of this income report, I wasn’t paying much attention to creating content here, maybe posting one or two book reviews per day, which usually received less than 200 views and maybe earned $0.02 per post. (link to my Instagram)

Recurring Expenses

No income report is complete without factoring in expenses. I tend to pay annual subscriptions rates for things, so this will just be a recurring list of resources that I use.

Flodesk for email marketing $209/year (affiliate link for Flodesk)

USPS PO Box $210/year

Canva Pro $120/year

Bluehost for blog hosting and domain registration $350/year (check out the blog here)
